I'm not a Perdition guru when it comes to source-code, but I've happily used 
it since 2003 or so in around 100 000 email-accounts environment. We are using 
LDAP for account information, and frankly I don't know why Perdition would 
care if there are more than 8 real servers. All that perdition does is that it 
proxies the traffic between servers, and 8 servers is not that much...

I think the most important thing is that the lookup method for determining the 
backend server is the key to high performance.
